Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F
The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with 1/8 in ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.

About the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F
Four 3/2 valves on one shared base: that is 3V106C4F. Each station carries a supply, outlet and exhaust port and switches between feeding and venting a single line, which is exactly what spring-return (single-acting) cylinders, clamps, blow nozzles and pilot circuits need. Actuation is direct-acting with a single solenoid and spring return.
Every AC110V coil takes 4.5 VA from a DIN socket, the body is rated IP65 (DIN 40050), and the air supply must be filtered to 40 um or finer with no lubrication required. A manual override on each station speeds up commissioning.

What a 3/2 Valve Does
A 3/2 valve has three ports — supply, outlet and exhaust — and two states. It either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, and that is the whole job.
That makes it the right valve for a single-acting (spring-return) cylinder, on/off air blow, a clamp, switching a vacuum generator or suction cup, and piloting a larger valve.
It cannot run a double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air alternately on two sides, which takes a 5-port valve — the AirTAC 4V series.
Where the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F Is Used
Leak-test fixture clamps
Four stations switch four single-acting clamp cylinders on a leak-test rig, each venting independently when its test cycle ends.
Indexer locking pin
Feed and vent the locking pin of a small rotary indexing table; the spring returns the pin the moment power is lost.
Carton ejector punches
A tabletop cartoning machine uses one valve per ejector punch, so a failed station can be swapped without disturbing its neighbours.
Is the Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F the Right Part?
Because AirTAC publishes no flow coefficient for the 3V1 body, treat 3V106C4F as a low-flow, low-power choice and check any flow-sensitive duty with us first. When a circuit demands more air, move up to 3V2 (1/8in and 1/4in ports, NC or NO selectable, Cv 0.18-0.19, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4in, Cv 0.62); if manifold density outweighs flow, 3V2M fits better.
Confirm five points before you order: M5 or 1/8in port; thread (PT is the family standard - G and NPT are order options); coil voltage; DIN plug versus flying lead entry; and whether you need an individual valve or a manifold station count. Driving a double-acting cylinder? That is a job for the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
- ✓ Port size and thread (PT from stock; G / NPT to order)
- ✓ Coil voltage matches your controller output
- ✓ Electrical entry — DIN plug or flying lead
- ✓ Single valve, bare base, or complete assembly
- ✓ Single-acting duty, not double-acting
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Stay within 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi) operating pressure.
- check Match the coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering up.
- check Leave the exhaust port clear, or fit a silencer.
- check Blank any unused station on the base before pressurising.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel, per AirTAC documentation.
Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V106C4F FAQ
Operating pressure 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi); temperature -20 to 70 C; air filtered to 40 um or finer; protection IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil draw is 4.5 VA on AC110V, also 4.5 VA on AC220V, 5.0 VA on AC24V, 3.0 W on DC24V and 2.5 W on DC12V. AirTAC publishes no Cv or effective area for the 3V1 body, so ask us to confirm flow-critical duties.
Each station is a 3-port, 2-position valve that either feeds or vents one line, so it suits single-acting spring-return cylinders, clamps, air blow and pilot duty. It cannot drive a double-acting cylinder - that requires the 5-port AirTAC 4V series. Every station has a manual override for commissioning.
